DIY Felt Tulip Hat
(Supplies may vary by store, however, special store-to-store orders can be placed with a one-week turnaround. Substitutions will be suggested if a product is no longer available.)
Supplies:
Mod Podge Stiffy Fabric Stiffener
Paintbrush
Paint tray
Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
Scissors
1 sheet of green felt (you may need 2 sheets depending on the desired leaf size)
4 sheets of felt in a different color (for petals)
2 bottles of acrylic paint (choose a darker shade that complements the felt sheets)
From home: Small bucket or cylinder (to shape the hat)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Begin by cutting the 4 sheets of colored felt into oval shapes, ensuring to keep the tip of the corners intact. These ovals will serve as the petals of your tulip.
Step 2: Next, use the green felt to cut out leaves. To maintain consistency in shape, fold the felt sheet in halves to create 2 larger leaves or quarters for 4 smaller leaves. Don’t forget to save any excess felt for later use.
Step 3: Lightly paint details and shading on each petal and leaf using the acrylic paint. This step adds depth and realism to your tulip hat.
Step 4: Grab the excess green felt and create a stem. Cut a piece of felt, roll it around a paintbrush, and secure it with hot glue.
Step 5: Use your hot glue gun to carefully glue the leaves onto the petals.
Step 6: Take the smaller leaf and glue it onto the stem. Then, attach the stem with the small leaf to the top of one of the petals.
Step 7: Proceed to glue the sides of each petal together, creating the tulip shape.
Step 8: To shape the hat, find a cylinder or small bucket. Place the hat upside down and let the bottom of the petals drape over the edge of the cylinder.
Step 9: Apply a generous amount of Mod Podge Stiffy Fabric Stiffener to the inside of the hat, either by hand or with a brush. This will help shape the bottom of the petals, allowing them to curve naturally over the cylinder’s edge.
Step 10: Finally, allow the hat to dry completely. Once it’s dry, you can proudly wear your DIY felt tulip hat and showcase your crafting prowess!
